    Disco Volador feels like a journey into a world undiscovered, without ever feeling too alien.

    These kids know exactly what they want to do and they have the skills and imagination to make it work like an improbable magic trick. Which is what a band needs to beat the sophomore slump as decisively as they do here.

    Though the band's sound is distinctive and Disco Volador isn't overshadowed by its vast lineup of influences, the album will appeal to music geeks who enjoy guessing the sonic predecessors of modern indie bands.

    Suggest the euphoria of whooshing through infinite space past astral displays of imagined beauty via a blend of disco funk, dream pop, electronic exotica and '70s highlife. [Apr 2020, p.33]

    What we all need is a great new rock band that draws on a forgotten corner of the music of yore, and The Orielles definitely could be that band – but there’s nothing here that will make you put away your old records just yet.

    Un placer entero. "Disco Volador" es sabroso, serio, divertido, interesante, emocional, tropical y entretenido. The Orielles han vuelto a lograr un proyecto que explora una tesis muy bien enfocada en lo espacial, existencial y el placer de lo terrenal y su superficie. Un cuerpo y una alma muy bien cuidados y construidos. "Disco Volador" mezcla géneros como el Psychedelic, Disco, Ambient, Funk algo Groovy sin descuidar su estilo Indie-Rock que no tardará en ganar una aclamación masiva por parte de jóvenes y adultos. Hay tanta sabiduría en la técnica y tanta carne en la esencia que la genialidad de The Orielles y su música se puede saborear. Totalmente recomendado.

    A hole pleasure. "Disco Volador" is tasty, serious, interesting, emotional, tropical and entertaining. The Orielles have made once again an achievement of a project that explores a very well-focused thesis in the spatial, existence and the pleasure of the superficiality. A body and a soul carefully well constructed. "Disco Volador" merges genres as the Psychedelic, Disco, Ambient, Funk and some Groovy without risking the Indie Rock style of the band that will not take too long to win the massive acclamation of young and adults. There's so much wisdom in the technique and so much meat in the essence that the geniality of The Orielles and their music can be tasted. Fully recommended.    … Expand
